Rock Out for America at this Golf Cart Parade in Medicine Park, Oklahoma
In Oklahoma, most Fourth of July celebrations look the same. You usually have a festival with tons of family activities, food trucks and, of course, a big fireworks show. But Medicine Park, Oklahoma, has started a different tradition to celebrate America's independence: a golf cart parade.
There are a lot of Fourth of July celebrations happening in southwest Oklahoma this weekend. Lawton will host its two-day Freedom Festival on Friday and Saturday with various events and activities during the day and will culminate with a big fireworks show at Elmer Thomas Park Saturday evening.
And on Tuesday, July 4, Apache Casino Hotel will host its annual Heroes of America Fireworks Show. With both of those events happening back-to-back, it only makes sense that Medicine Park would do something completely different and fun.
The Carts Rockin America Parade will take place Sunday, July 2 in Medicine Park. The parade is scheduled to start at 2 p.m. Sunday and will make its way through Medicine Park. The golf carts are encouraged to be decorated as patriotic rock bands.
